This Weeks #Torah Portion In A Nutshell The portion, BaMidbar (In the Desert), begins with the Creator commanding the children of #Israel by tribes to bring men who had served in the army and were at least twenty years old, and appoint them as heads of tribes and presidents. Following the nomination, Moses is requested to explain to them where each tribe should be during the journey and while stopping in the desert, how to arrange themselves by tribes and banners according to the four directions, with the tabernacle in the middle. The portion reiterates the role of the Levites, who are to serve in the tabernacle. The tribe of Levi is special because it has no place or lot of its own; it is to serve everyone and help everyone, especially the priests in the tabernacle. The role of the Levites is to assemble and disassemble the tabernacle at each stop during the journey of the children of Israel. They must follow strict rules that explain what to do with each part of the tabernacle and how to keep the vessels of the tabernacle. read the rest of the entry for Kabbalistic commentary in the link below: kabbalahblog.info/2014/05/bamidbar-in-the-desert-parsha-weekly-torah-portion/
